Feeling Creative


I've had a hard time lately pouring thoughts from my head into my blog hence the sparse blogging. I did however get a little spark of creativity this weekend I needed to share.

First project was the little rose painted box. I may gift this to my daughter to keep her jewelry in since the pink fits her girly room theme. I have a really hard time with roses but I'm pretty pleased how this one turned out. I had company from a certain 6 year old who announced he would so love to share my paint. I obliged and little Picasso and I spent the afternoon listening to Frank Sinatra and creating. What could be better than that? I did have a good laugh when he tried to sell me his paintings for a buck. What a little business man!

Today I decided to do a little old fashioned scrapbooking. Nothing fancy, just simple little pasting of cut out magazine pictures, etc. before there were fabulous papers and embellishments like the scrapbooking of today. I have a hard time throwing away my cherished magazines so this way I can cut out the things I love most and store them in one book. It's a good compromise to reduce clutter.
